Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. For the first option: Casca initially says "Let us not leave him out" (suggesting including Cicero) and later says "Indeed he is not fit" (reversing to excluding), which is ironic as he acts as if he didn't suggest inclusion first.
2. For the third option: Casca acts like he's making key decisions, but Brutus is the one (e.g., Brutus says "O, name him not..." and others follow his lead) actually leading the conspiracy's direction.

The second option is incorrect because Metellus thinks gray hair (Cicero's) gives good opinion, not weakness. The fourth is wrong as Brutus doesn't want to include Cicero. The fifth is wrong as Cassius agrees to leave him out, not with Metellus, and Casca's argument isn't "wise" or the swaying factor.
# Answer:
A. Casca firmly reverses his position about including Cicero, as if he hadn't been the one to suggest it in the first place.
C. Casca thinks he is making important decisions when Brutus is really the one leading the way.
